>>Depending on what your idea of illegal is."
I believe drug dealing is illegal in all 59 states. The term implies non-licensed controlled drug sales. However, possession of small amounts of illegally-obtained fentanyl is not illegal in OR and WA; I don't know about CA.
I live in Washington state. When the state got into trying to use the excuse of unknowledgeable possession they opened up Pandora’s box. It is not illegal to possess drugs like morphine or fentanyl, it is illegal to deliver or make it for delivery to other persons.
According to RCW §69.50.401, possession with intent to deliver of any form of a controlled substance included in the statute’s Schedule I or II and classified as a narcotic, is considered a class B felony and upon conviction may be imprisoned for a maximum of ten years, fined, or both. So if it can’t be delivered legally, then how can it be possessed unless it’s a doctor’s prescription? And any prescription drug is legal to be possessed not to be delivered to other persons. Kind of a catch 22.
